Why does my MSDN Copy of Windows Vista RTM only contain a 30 Day Grace Period of Product Activation?

Why does my MSDN Copy of Windows Vista RTM only contain a 30 Day Grace
Period of Product Activation?

All of my other MSDN Softwar has a 60 Day Grace Period for Product
Activation, why is Windows Vista different?

All Windows Vista versions have this. It isn't just MSDN. VL,
Technet,..all of them have 30 days which should be more than enough time to
test something and if you have a need for longer then you can activate it.

Care to answer my other question about why my MSDN Copy of RTM has a Retail
Store EULA using winver at the run command?

See my other post Kevin.
That is normal and the way it should be.
